“I don’t know how I can stop it, Liv. I have tried my best to persuade her not to go through with this, but she is adamant it has to happen. She has stopped answering my calls now because she knows what I am going to say. I know you feel his feelings towards her are toxic Liv but with no proof that he is or has done anything wrong, my hands are fucking tied.”
I sighed because I knew he was right. “Can you explain the commission to me? I feel like I should know a little more than I do before I walk in there tomorrow.”
“They are made up of previous and existing members of all the mafia families in Italy. Over fifty years ago, all the Boss’ of every family signed a treaty to try to bring some peace amongst us all as there was so much hate and bloodshed. It was bad for business and hard to keep us out of the press and justice system when people were constantly having shoot ups in public places. Because of this treaty, we are unable to kill anyone from another mafia family unjustly. The commission works as a jury. If we believe a member has broken the treaty, we take our evidence to the commission, and they decide if it is enough for retaliation.”
I rolled onto my side as I ran my fingertips across his hard chest. “So by going to them tomorrow and telling them where you are and why, the Leone’s will not be able to harm you?”
He looked down into my eyes and gave me a small smile. “That’s the idea.”
“But they still could?” I hated this. I hated the idea of him meeting them alone and just hoping for the best.
“Yes. But if they did, they would be breaking the treaty and then we would be given the green light to attack them.”
“But then it would be too late! They would have already killed you!” Bile rose to my throat and my gut twisted at the thought of the amount of danger he was about to put himself in.
“I am taking Angelo with me if that helps,” he ran his knuckles over my cheek, and I frowned. No, that did not help ease my worry at all. “And they also will not have any of their men. The arrangement is to meet alone from both sides.”
“But it could be a trap?”
“Yes.”
I huffed loudly and he chuckled. How was he feeling so calm about this? How was he not freaking out like I was?
“Bambola, I know it’s hard but try not to worry about me, okay? I will have my alarm watch on so if anything goes wrong, I will send an alert to Max immediately and he will be able to inform the commission. That’s when Max will need to tell Sal.”
I rubbed my hands down my face as I fought back the intense emotions I was feeling. I wanted to scream or cry or just shout at how unfair this was, but I knew that was immature and wouldn’t help in any way. I had signed up for this. This danger came with being with him. I had to grit my teeth and stay strong.
“Okay,” I whispered. He pulled me back to lie down in the safety of his arms and I stared up at his gorgeous face. I had fallen so madly in love with this man, but I was starting to realise that every day in his world, I risked losing him. It was a hard pill to swallow but it reminded me that life is precious, and it could be taken away at any moment.
“I love you Gio. Please don’t die,” I was being deadly serious, but he laughed loudly before kissing the tip of my nose.
“I won’t. I have far too much to live for Bambola.”
The air sizzled with emotional and sexual tension as I held his gaze as we stared at each other with intensity. Just a few months ago, I had no idea this man existed and now he was my whole world. I could see the depth of his own emotions in those mountain brown eyes, and I slowly inched my face closer to his so I could brush my lips against his. My hands threaded through his hair as our noses caressed and his lips parted slightly encouraging me to continue. I licked his lips sensually before he gripped my body tightly and deepened the kiss with passion. Within seconds, our clothes were discarded on the floor, and he rolled on top of me, entering me in one slow, delicious stroke. We clung to each other’s bodies as he gazed down at me, his black hair hanging over his forehead. He covered my body so perfectly with his as we moulded together, him filling me completely and pausing. His dark eyes burned with love and desire before he leant down and kissed me so tenderly it made my insides melt and burn at the same time. I needed him to move, I felt so full, yet he wasn’t moving and my need to feel him taking me, claiming me like he does, was too much. My back arched off the bed as I racked my nails along his back, my body pleading with his to end this pleasurable torture.
Just as I was about to cry out and beg for him to move, he did. Pulling out of me so slowly only to push back in hard causing me to gasp into his mouth. My eyes shot open as he repeated it again and again. Out slowly, powerful thrust in. I felt like I was going to explode. Every slow, deliberate massage inside me was met by a groan from him as he plunged back inside and a whimper from me as he glided back out so slowly. It was an unbearable pleasure like I had never felt before. The intense feelings building inside me were enough to make me want to cry. His fingers tightened around my back as he tried to hold onto his control to keep this torturously slow pace. Each thrust back in was harder and deeper than the last as he growled in appreciation and I dug my nails into his back, needing more.
“You. Are. Mine,” he breathed with affection with every thrust and for the first time ever, those words didn’t scare me. They were true. I was completely and utterly his, mind, body and soul. And he was mine.
“I’m yours,” I moaned back and I felt all his back muscles ripple under the palms of my hands as those words caused him to lose control. He claimed my lips with so much passion and need as he started to really move inside me, hitting that perfect spot over and over until I was crying out his name against his lips and he gasped out his own orgasm inside me.
With our foreheads stuck together with sweat and both of us breathless, we held each other tightly as we tried to regain our senses. That was the most intimate and loving sex we have ever had. A tear rolled down my cheek as I felt overcome with how much I loved this man.
He rolled onto his side, still holding me to him and stroked my hair without saying a word. We stayed entangled like ivy as my eyelids started to feel heavy. The last thing I heard as I drifted off to sleep was his sweet words in my ear.
“I would walk through fire for you. Ti amo bambola.”
Without a doubt, so would I.
Bound To Revenge
Giovanni
Istared down at my nonna's stunning engagement ring in the black velvet box. Mamma had left it on my desk before she left to go to Sal's with no message or explanation. I didn't need one. I always knew why my nonna had given this ring to me much to my mamma's annoyance and confusion. When I visited her on her last days on this Earth, she had placed it in my hands and said this belongs to the next consorte della mafia (mafia wife) and I would know when I found the one. At the time, I had no interest in finding 'the one' and I did not want to marry for love, so I gave it to mamma, knowing how much she loved it. I snapped it shut and placed it in the safe in my office. If I survived today, that ring would be on Olivia's finger.
Strolling down the steps towards the entrance of the mansion, I smiled when I saw Liv, Max and Camilla all chatting by the front door.
“You all set?” Max gave me a stern look as I pulled Liv into my arms and tried to hold onto the memory of how her body felt against mine one more time. I knew what I was potentially getting myself into. I was armed with a knife and gun with Angelo as extra muscle but if it was a trick and they were not alone, I would be fighting my way out of there with a slim chance of making it out alive.
